Special notes on use
4.1 Special notes on use
• If the device is brought into the work-room from a cold environment
there is a risk that condensation might form on the electronics. In mea-
suring operations involving thermocouples pronounced changes in
temperature may cause substantial measuring errors. You are advised
therefore, before starting to use the device, to wait until it has adjusted
to the ambient temperature.
• Before using the mains adapter make sure that the mains voltage is
suitable.
• Measuring operations with thermocouples using the device-internal
cold junction temperature should wherever possible be performed sub-
ject to the following operating parameters.
- Running on rechargeable batteries
- Display brightness level 1 (i.e. lowest level)
Performing measuring operations with thermocouples in any mode
other than this may involve a higher risk of measuring errors.
• Be sure to observe the maximum load capacity of the sensor power
supply.
• Sensors with their own integrated power supply are not electrically iso-
lated from one another. (see 8.5)
• Located on the rear of the device is a folding stand; when this is folded
out the device can be positioned at an angle for better readability.
4.2 How to deal with rechargeable batteries
Usually when the device is delivered the battery pack is not fully
charged. First of all therefore the battery should be charged us-
ing the mains adapter provided; continue until the LED
'CHARGE' goes out.
Rechargeable batteries should be recharged as and when nec-
essary.
A rechargeable battery pack must never be mechanically dam-
aged, short-circuited, or thrown on the fire.
Rechargeable batteries are special waste and must not be dis-
carded as normal domestic waste.
